...So we get out of Lassen and drive about 30 more minutes until we finally found 'Hat Creek' which I have nicknamed 'CRAP creek' becuase it was a dump! We get there and it was a stagnet irrigation canal out in the middle of nowhere with 5 shirtless fat guys in lawn chairs fishing!!! We gave it a BIG thumbs down and decided to go elsewhere.We took out our handy dandy atlas and found that a place called Burney Falls was only a half hour away..we figured that there would be some pretty good water there so we were back on the road again :0) When we got there we were relieved because it was SO beautiful..unlike our last stop ;0) We were so ready to get out of the car and FISH! We put our poles together and hiked down a damp trail to the waterfall..which happened to be breathtaking!
The mist from the waterfall felt so good on my face and i relaxed in the sun with my hubby for a while..those are the moments that make our little vacations ;0)
I didnt know if i would catch any fish under the falls BUT i couldnt resist fishing such a pretty hole... it was a good thing that Matt and i brought our new video camera with us to try out because i caught a couple HUGE Rainbow trout!! The second one i caught was a 14 incher! It was so amaizing..check it out!
That totally made the trip worth it..catching a fish is one of the greatest feelings in the world!!..i know..im a dork ;0)
Matt decided to throw his line in after that but i must've scared all the fish away cause we had no such luck after that..we both got alot of strikes but no fish..look how handsome my husband is ;0)
After a long day of fishing (we left at 6:00) We were starving and both of us were craving tri-tip sandwiches! We didnt think wed find a BBQ joint in the tiny town of Burney,CA but we DID!!! The sandwiches definitely hit the spot and we were very satisfied..YUMMY :0)Then we were on the road again headed back to good ol' Chico..We drove through Redding and i have to say..its a nice little town! There are lots of trees and the city is alot bigger than Chico..which is nice. They even had a Macys there so i got some MAC stuff before we left :0) Anywho we made it home after a day full of fun, adventure and FISH :0)
It looks like you are a pretty good fisher woman! What a beautiful place to hike and fish. You both are so adventurous. Chris and I need to do more things like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful water fall! I think your blog makes Thad wish he'd married a more "out doorsy" type ;)He's jealous of your fishing trips ;)
ReplyDeletehey that fishing trip sounds pretty fun...but you HAVE to come up and visit me and dustin some time we have a great couple of spots we always go..we just went last weekend and i caught myself a monster, you cant even keep them there unless they are more than 15 inches! its really pretty and really fun you have to come you would love it!!-Christie!
ReplyDeleteyou have some mighty long posts my darlin. cute pics and i love that waterfall. its hard to have waterfalls like that when you don't have mountains or rocks or elevation of any kind really. ND is so flat and full of ticks!
ReplyDeletejust had to mention, I did all the painting. Thad is gone from 5 am to 6 pm on the days he comes home, and he doesn't come home tuesday or Thursday nights. But he and dad did all the new trim ;)
ReplyDeleteTenille...I love that a hot mama like you loves to fish. It's so endearing. I love reading about your trips too. I wish I lived to closer to you:(
ReplyDeleteHey Tenille, How do you make cool backgrounds and header stuff like you do? I want to be creative but I don't know how do do more than just the standard template.
